While cut from the same mold as the 2006 Chateauneuf du Pape Julie, the 2006 Chateauneuf du Pape Herve is slightly fuller with deeper fruit. All of these wines are aged in small old barrels prior to bottling. Ebullient Burgundian wine broker, Alain Corcia, who does some of his best work in the Rhone Valley, offers a solid selection of Cotes du Rhones and Chateauneuf du Papes that are both good values and very fine wines. Corcia’s Chateauneuf du Pape cuvees are strong in both 2006 and 2007. These are selections he makes from several well-known estates on the plateau of Chateauneuf du Pape that undergo slightly different blendings and upbringings. All named after family members, they are more similar than dissimilar. An Alain Corcia Selection, various American importers, including Premier Wines, CA; tel.
